Did NcSoft breach their written contract with me by taking my name during a server merge?

Question by geiland02: Did NcSoft breach their written contract with me by taking my name during a server merge?
Back in 2009, I paid extra USD for a video game called Aion Online: Collectors Edition by NcSoft. I have re-researched online some of their details involved in marketing and their promises they made to potential customers if they paid this extra money for the game. Here is some of the posts I have found:

The ##### …… ##### highlighting my point of concern. In late 2010, NcSoft was losing subscribers and they had to do a “server merge” where they combined multiple online servers full of players (and names) into one server. In doing so, NcSoft changed everyone’s name without permission to their old name + a server code and then many players from each server had a fight to claim their old names. Of course not everyone was successful, like me, and they never got their old name back.

the issue here is, if I paid extra USD for a promise to preselect my character and his/her name, how can they promise be taken away in 2010 in a server merge? Thanks for any advise.
class/appearance/race “etc.” not meaning name? how is a “preselection” of a character not include a name when in fact I made this character AND named it during the “preselection” process and “reserved” my name and the people who didn’t pay this extra USD were not able to use the “names” I used on my character because mine was preselected, or am I seeing something wrong here ?
So that means since NcSoft can change a player’s name at anything, can I ask you to change the player’s name (since that player isn’t even active) and then once you change that player’s name I can reclaim mine? Since you changed everyone’s name before, you can do it again too, legally, right? I’d appreciate the help NcSoft, please reply with an explanation. The character is a 24 non-geared RNG and has been since merge and hasn’t changed any gear or level since. Thanks !

Answer by haunter-It says pretty clearly that you have access to a character preselection and aion server NOT character name , preselection meaning you can select class/appearance/race etc.
